• Echeveria 'Autumn Flame' is a mesmerizing hybrid known for its large, ruffled rosettes and intense pigmentation. The leaves are thick and slightly crinkled at the edges, resembling flickering flames. While it may start with hints of blue-green or teal in the center, the outer leaves blush into a deep, glowing crimson or burnt orange when exposed to bright light.
  
  This cultivar is a modern hybrid derived from the Echeveria genus, which is primarily native to the semi-desert regions of Mexico and Central America. 'Autumn Flame' was specifically bred to maximize the "stress colors" that succulents produce in response to sunlight and cool temperatures.
  
  The true magic of 'Autumn Flame' is its visual texture. The ruffled, carunculated (bumpy) edges of the leaves catch the light in a way that flat succulents don't. As the seasons change, the plant transforms from a muted jewel tone to a brilliant, fiery red, making it a dynamic centerpiece for any collection.
  
  
• Full sun to very bright indirect light. It needs high light levels to maintain its "flame" colors; otherwise, it may fade to green.
  
  Well-draining cactus mix. Thrives in a gritty substrate that allows roots to breathe and prevents moisture buildup.
  
  Low. Use the "soak and dry" method. Water only when the soil is completely dry to the touch.
• 9a – 11b. It is sensitive to frost and must be moved indoors or covered if temperatures drop near 0°C.
